6.6 PROJECT ORIENTED PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

L T P
- - 16

Project work aims at developing skills in the students whereby they apply the totality of knowledge
and skills gained through the course in the solution of particular problem or undertaking a project.
The students have various aptitudes and strengths. Project work, therefore, should match the
strengths of students. For this purpose, students should be asked to identify the type of project work,
they would like to execute. It is also essential that the faculty of the respective department may have
a brainstorming session to identify suitable project assignments. The project assignment can be
individual assignment or a group assignment. The students should identify the project at least two
to three months in advance. The project work identified in collaboration with industry may be
preferred.

Each teacher is expected to guide the project work of 5-6 students.

- Projects related to increasing productivity and better services

- Projects related to quality assurance
- Projects related to estimation and economics of production and services
- Projects connected with repair and maintenance of plant and equipment and aircraft
- Projects related to identification of raw material thereby reducing the wastage
- Any other related problems of interest of host industry

A suggestive criteria for assessing student performance by the external (personnel from industry)
and internal (teacher) examiner is given in table below:

Sr. Performance criteria Max. Rating Scale

 127

The overall grading of the practical training shall be made as per following table

Range of maximum marks Overall grade

i) More than 80 Excellent
ii) 65-80 Very good
iii) 50-64 Good
iv) 41-49 Fair
v) Less than 40 Poor

In order to qualify for the diploma, students must get “Overall Good grade” failing which the
students may be given one more chance of undergoing 8 -10 weeks of project oriented
professional training in the same industry and re-evaluated before being disqualified and
declared “not eligible to receive diploma ”. It is also important to note that the students must get
more than six “goods” or above “good” grade in different performance criteria items in order to
get “Overall Good” grade.

Important Notes

1. This criteria must be followed by the internal and external examiner and they should see
the daily, weekly and monthly reports while awarding marks as per the above criteria.

2. The criteria for evaluation of the students have been worked out for 100 maximum
marks. The internal and external examiners will evaluate students separately and give
marks as per the study and evaluation scheme of examination.

3. The external examiner, preferably, a person from industry/organization, who has been
associated with the project-oriented professional training of the students, should evaluate
the students performance as per the above criteria.

4. It is also proposed that two students or two projects which are rated best be given merit
certificate at the time of annual day of the institute. It would be better if specific nearby
industries are approached for instituting such awards.

The teachers are free to evolve another criteria of assessment, depending upon the type of project
work.

It is proposed that the institute may organize an annual exhibition of the project work done by the
students and invite leading Industrial organizations in such an exhibition. It is also proposed that
two students or two projects which are rated best be given merit certificate at the time of annual
day of the institute. It would be better if specific industries are approached for instituting such
awards.
